Hi Pete

As a web developer, how familiar are you with PHP?

I'm asking because I've seen this MediaWiki extension which basically 
allows you to create issue trackers in the Wiki, with all entries stored 
in the same mediawiki database:
  http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IssueTracker

It could be interesting to have wiki documentation and issues together.
For example, each page dedicated to a plane would have its own issue 
tracker, listing issues and feature requests for that plane.
A top-level page would then contain an issue tracker to list the entire 
set of issues and feature requests.

Me thinks, having an entire wiki page to describe an issue, with inline 
pictures and text markup and versioning of changes (all free with the 
wiki) would be such an improvement over traditional bug tracking systems.

Just an idea,

  Tom
